Sucanat vs Molasses ?

Ive searched and cant find the answers to these:

1 how is sucanat compared to blackstrap molasses?

2 pros/cons?

3 which is the more neutral flavored carb that will leave natural genetic flavors?

4 does sucanat also act as a chelating agent just like molasses?

Discuss...

1. i use both, and i add a lil barley n rice n beet sugars also
2. both organic for pro, dont know any cons
3. both (mj doesnt taste like the carbs they eat )
4. sorry cant help you there buddy

Interesting i read somewhere that molasses had a particular flavor and sugar cane gave a neutral flavor

if thats the case, then i'd stick with sucanat to keep the original flavors intact.

i use sucanat as well as molasses.

There are people that swear by using coca cola.
I thin maybe the more refined the faster the plant can absorb it, like humans. But if you wanna stay organic, you'd probably wanna stick with unsulphered molasses.

I was always wondering if that was how it worked with sugars. Another thing, does using more sugar create more frost? there has to be some correlation betweern taste and sugars you use IMO.

Its a endless debate....does molassas feed the microbes in the soil or does the carbs feed the plant directly. I personally can say that mollasas will make your plant more sticky. Seems to help the buds swell durring the last days of flowering. I use blackstrap both as feed for my teas in my and durring late flower in plain h2o to help with resin and swelling. Im just a nooB so dont listen to me. I have not used succcanate or whatever its called.
